‘1st4sport Qualifications provides us with a range of industry-recognised qualifications that give our learners the best chance of being employed. An issue with providing new qualifications can be the difficulties in terms of setting up, accessing support and then complying with the quality assurance process, which can create a barrier. I’d recommend 1st4sport Qualifications as we find them very supportive at all stages of the qualification implementation and management process.’
